Three days later, Chen Shicai returned to Jiangzhou.

What he did during those three days was unknown to his master and mistress, Xuexin.

Di Yun's belt was almost smoking from swinging it so much. Looking at Xue Xin's slightly worried face, he became even more annoyed, thinking that he would beat that kid to death when he came back!

Chen Shi, however, was all smiles.

On his way home, his mind was filled with the three days he had spent with Gu Bai.

For the past two days, he had been watching the beast tide from afar. The battle was fierce and the entire battle line was constantly shaking. Countless sea monsters rushed ashore as if they had gone mad, and their corpses were piled up like mountains.

Those sirens didn't practice any internal or external martial arts; they only had superpowers and basic blood energy. They hadn't trained in any basic combat skills or anything like that. Facing the elite humans who had emerged from elite education, they were practically committing suicide.

Therefore, every Beiyang man was very curious about what was hidden beneath that boundless sea and how it could give birth to so many sea monsters every year.

Moreover, the Beiyang is only one part; there are two other major oceans. It is said that the demon race and the monster race also have to face the beast tide of the sea monster race. Where did so many sea monsters come from?

How deep is this ocean?

Humans have no way of knowing!

After the beast tide gradually stabilized, Gu Bai took Chen Shi out for drinks and meat, mainly seafood.

The seafood here is very fresh and tastes very sweet.

Three days later, the densely packed gemstones were finally processed.

The sea gold was used to make a pair of sky-blue crystal shoes. The remaining materials were all given to Gu Bai, who made a gem with a very nouveau riche feel and dedicated it to his wife's tombstone. The Martial Soul Token was her tombstone.

The two had only spent ten days together, but Chen Shi was very reluctant to part ways when it was time to say goodbye. A huge thought swirled in his mind—this parting might be forever.

Will we ever meet again?

do not know.

But every time I open a bottle of rum, I think of you, my friend. You are the hero who led me to conquer the sea, and I will never forget you.

……

Chen Shi finally returned home.

Xuexin rushed forward to greet her, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

They didn't know what Chen Shi had gone through, only that he had broken through the border of the human race and stayed in the perilous sea for nearly seven days before returning when the beast tide arrived. However, he did not go straight home, but instead stayed in Beiyang for another three days.

Ten days in total.

Xuexin hadn't been separated from him for this long in three years, and she was very worried.

The boy had a carefree smile on his face as he pulled Xuexin's hand and strode forward.

In the living room, Chen Wan'er had prepared the meal. Di Yun, rubbing his hands together in anticipation, asked with a stern face, "Are you crazy?!"

"Do you know how dangerous it is on the other side of the sea!"

Chen Shi chuckled and said, "It's alright."

"It's alright!?" Di Yun's eyes widened.

suddenly!

Chen Shi took out a lot of gold and silver jewelry from his storage ring. The blue and red jewels instantly attracted the attention of Di Yun and Wan'er, and Xue Xin also curiously came over.

"It's so beautiful, it even glows, and it smells wonderful!"

Chen Shi then proudly brought over a basin of water, placed the pearl in it, and said, "Look, it even changes color in the water!"

Di Yun frowned and asked, "Is this material from the Crimson Ruby Fish?"

"And deep blue sapphire fish?"

"So many?"

"Yes." Chen Shi grinned, picked up an exquisite red hairpin, and handed it to his master's wife, saying, "Master's wife, this is for you."

Chen Wan'er immediately beamed with joy and took the hairpin.

"And this too." Chen Shi took out a deep red bracelet.

"It's so beautiful, Shi'er is so good." The teacher's wife couldn't shake the smile as she showed off the gift her child had given her in front of the mirror, unable to put it down.

Then, Chen Shi took out the beautiful crystal shoes, which were so exquisite that they were like a family heirloom.

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in the junior sister's eyes. She leaned her whole face close to the glass slipper, staring at the beautiful patterns and luster on it, her heart pounding rapidly.

"Junior sister, this is for you." Chen Shi handed it over.

Xuexin couldn't help but hug her senior brother and say sweetly, "Senior brother is the best!"

Master Di Yun also put down his belt and came over, staring at Chen Shi, looking at his storage ring, then at him, as if he were talking about me.

With one arm around his junior sister's waist, Chen Shi asked, "Master, you want some too?"

"You should have said so earlier."

Di Yun frowned and asked, "What?"

"What would I do with these things?"

Suddenly, Chen Shi took out a watch from his storage ring, which was made entirely of sapphire.

Without hesitation, Di Yun took the watch, put it on without saying a word, and flipped his wrist in the sunlight.

Chen Shi then took out two bracelets and one necklace.

"These are all the materials we have."

"It's all done."

Di Yun took a bracelet and a necklace, put them on, and said with a smile, "You're not so bad after all, you're quite filial."

Chen Shize picked up the last bracelet and put it on Xuexin's wrist.

Xuexin's eyes were overflowing with love.

"You've been preparing these gifts for the past three days, haven't you?"

"Yes," Chen Shi nodded silently, "We discussed it with the local designers for a long time before we started building it."

The master's wife walked forward, playing with her wrist, and said with a smile, "Xue'er, this is no ordinary gift."

"Especially those shoes you're wearing, the human race might not be able to find another pair of crystal shoes like yours."

"Is it expensive?" Zhang Xuexin's eyes widened.

The master's wife shook her head and said, "It's not that expensive, but the material is sea gold, one of the main materials for low-grade divine pearls."

"All materials are firmly controlled by the border regions of the three oceans."

"No one would use this material to make a pair of shoes; all the materials combined would probably cost close to a million Star Points."

"Shi'er, how can you bear to part with him?"

Chen Shi replied, "That's why we decided to do it this way because we couldn't buy the materials."

"If it could be bought with money, it wouldn't be precious enough!"

Chen Wan'er and Di Yun exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with uncontrollable smiles.

Di Yun finally said only, "Be more careful in the future, and don't go outside the human realm again, it's too dangerous."

"The farthest I've ever been in my life is the Hengtian Mountains, and I've never even left the human race. You're truly remarkable."

Chen Shi smiled smugly and said, "Because I have the best sailors by my side, I'm not afraid!"

Then, he excitedly told everyone about what had happened between him and Gu Bai over the past ten days.

The three family members sat to the side, listening intently. Xuexin's eyes lit up as she listened, wishing she had been there too.
